Trip to the San Carlos Peninsula. Part Four: Discovering San Bernardo Beach | Viaje a la Península de San Carlos. Cuarta parte: Conociendo la Playa de San Bernardo 🌊
ENGLISH VERSION (click here!)
Good afternoon, world travelers.
In this fourth and final part of my trip to the San Carlos Peninsula, I want to tell you a little about San Bernardo Beach, which is nothing more than a riverbank, so to speak, that forms part of San Carlos. It is said that this area was man-made and that it was previously covered by the sea and was a channel that served as an entrance and exit for large ships.
In this difficult-to-access area, we traveled by motorcycle along compact sandy roads where small salt flats could be seen among small sand dunes surrounded by abundant vegetation and animals such as donkeys, horses, goats, and birds that I couldn't identify from a distance as pigeons or some other species.
Then we came back to the beach, only to return to a sand-covered path where the rocks on either side formed breakwaters in some areas. More and more goats appeared on our way to the San Carlos Lighthouse in San Bernardo.
We arrived at a tower, where about five years ago the San Carlos Lighthouse stood, which no longer exists today. Our guide told us that the previous one collapsed and that this structure is currently preserved as a reference to what it once was, but that the current lighthouse is located right next to the Castle of San Carlos.
From here we had a beautiful view of the beach. The waves looked so calm. Although it is part of the Caribbean Sea, it does not have the lighter shades of blue found on other beaches in the country, but for me its color is perfect. This beach is suitable for swimmers, but due to its remoteness, most people do not go there.
What a great adventure I was able to experience in my beautiful state of Zulia, a reminder to enjoy every corner of my homeland and the natural spaces that surround us.

Buenas tardes, viajeros del mundo.
En esta cuarta y última parte de mi viaje a la Península de San Carlos, quiero que conozcan un poco de la playa de San Bernardo que no es más que un ribera por llamarla de alguna manera que forma parte de San Carlos, se dice que esta zona fue hecha por el hombre y que anteriormente este espacio se encontraba cubierto de mar y era un canal que servía de entrada y salida para grandes embarcaciones.
En esta zona de difícil acceso nos movimos en moto en medio de una caminos de arena compacta donde podían verse pequeñas salinas, entre pequeños cúmulos de arena rodeados de abundante vegetación y animales como burros, caballos, chivos y aves que desde la lejanía no podía identificar si eran palomas o algunas otras.
Después nos reencontramos con la orilla de la playa, para nuevamente regresar a un camino cubierto de arena donde las rocas a nuestro costado formaban rompeolas en algunas de sus zonas, cada vez más chivos aparecían en nuestro camino hacia el Faro de San Carlos en San Bernardo.
Llegamos a hasta una torre, donde hace unos 5 años atrás se encontraba el Faro de San Carlos que hoy en día no existe, nos contaba nuestro guía que el anterior se derrumbó y que actualmente se conserva esta estructura como referencia de lo que fue, pero que el faro actual se encuentra justo al lado del Castillo de San Carlos.
Desde aquí teníamos una hermosa vista de la playa, se veía tan tranquilo su oleaje, aunque es parte del Mar Caribe, no tiene tonos de azules más claros como en otras playas del país, pero para mi su tonalidad es perfecta, esta playa es acta para bañistas pero por su lejanía la mayoría no se acerca a ellas.
Que grandiosa aventura pude vivir dentro de mi hermoso estado Zulia, un recordatorio para disfrutar de cada rincón de mi terruño y de los espacios naturales que nos rodean.
